AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE QUAD CITIES IA IL
216 PM CST FRI FEB 21 2025
KEY MESSAGES
- OUR WELL-ADVERTISED WARM UP CONTINUES INTO MUCH OF NEXT WEEK.
- A COUPLE OF SYSTEMS LOOK TO MOVE THROUGH THE AREA MONDAY
NIGHT AND AGAIN WEDNESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT, WHICH WILL
BRING CHANCES (30-50%) OF LIGHT PRECIPITATION.
SHORT TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY/
ISSUED AT 215 PM CST FRI FEB 21 2025
HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE FROM MO TO KY WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH SLOWLY
TO THE SOUTHEAST. SKIES WILL BE CLEAR TONIGHT AND SUNNY ON
SATURDAY. WITH A SOUTHWEST WIND THROUGH SATURDAY, TEMPERATURES
WILL NOT BE AS COLD WITH LOWS IN THE SINGLE DIGITS ABOVE ZERO,
AND HIGHS FINALLY PUSHING TO NEAR OR ABOVE FREEZING. A WELCOME
CHANGE AFTER ABOUT A WEEK IN THE DEEP FREEZE!
LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/
ISSUED AT 215 PM CST FRI FEB 21 2025
THE LONG TERM WILL BE HIGHLIGHTED BY A MILDER PATTERN WITH MORE
OF A WESTERLY FLOW OF PACIFIC AIR RATHER THAN ARCTIC ORIGIN.
THIS MEANS SNOW-EATING TEMPERATURES WELL INTO THE 40S WITH EVEN
SOME 50S FOR SEVERAL DAYS NEXT WEEK!
PRECIPITATION: NO SIGNIFICANT RAIN OR SNOW IS EXPECTED AS THE
MAIN STORM TRACK LOOKS TO REMAIN NEAR OR NORTH OF OUR FORECAST
AREA. WE MAY GET CLIPPED BY SOME OF THIS PCPN MONDAY NIGHT AND
AGAIN ON WEDNESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT. HOWEVER, GLOBAL MODELS
DIFFER ON TIMING AND EXACT TRACK OF CLIPPER SYSTEMS SO THERE IS
LOW CONFIDENCE AT THIS TIME.
AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SATURDAY/
ISSUED AT 1143 AM CST FRI FEB 21 2025
VFR (SKC) CONDS CAN BE EXPECTED THROUGH THIS TAF CYCLE AS HIGH
PRESSURE RIDGE FROM MO TO KY MOVES SLOWLY SOUTHEAST. MEANWHILE,
SOUTHWEST WINDS AROUND 10 KTS WILL PERSIST THROUGH SATURDAY.
